Notes
"‘Kia ora, good evening.’ Journalist and presenter Mike McRoberts felt uneasy starting Newshub’s six o’clock news with this simple greeting. For much of his life he didn’t know his language - te reo Māori. Growing up in a mixed-race family, at a time when te reo was rarely spoken in daily conversation, he had little connection to Maoritanga. His experience mirrored that of many other New Zealanders of his generation. Here Mike shares his journey to learn te reo Māori and fully reclaim his identity. His book invites us to understand why treasuring our Māori language and culture matters to all New Zealanders"--Publisher information.
